Wedding day circa 1990

Kim found her wedding dress the other day and Kaylee had to try it on.


That started me thinking of our wedding video.

Here are some highlights:

  • I weighed about 40lbs lighter
  • 9 of the people in the video have died
  • We were the first in both families to be married
  • Only one sibling on both sides had not been married since
  • Mullets were in style
  • so were suspenders (right Scott?)
  • Shoulder pads were a requirement for the women
  • Triangle perms were hot
  • Puffy sleeves abounded in 1990
  • Jeni's posture has gotten a lot better
  • for all the time spent taking photos, we don't have a single one today
  • My kids have never seen me in a tuxedo
  • It snowed on June 1st
  • We had to wake up at 4:30 that morning
  • I did not have a job on our wedding day or for 2 weeks after that
  • We had planned on a garden reception but Mother Nature had other thoughts
  • Kim's brother did not attend, but there was a 3 foot tall head of his in the reception line (Why did we do this?)
  • Kim's Grandmother decorated the cake with fresh roses that afternoon
  • Our wedding Luncheon was at "The Paddlewheel"
  • We sang "Happy Birthday" at the wedding luncheon
  • The video cameras were the size of the ones used for TV now days
  • Kim did not want to have a reception line but was talked into it
  • Mindi caught the bouquet
  • Early the next morning my parents called us at the hotel we were staying at
  • The Brides maids dresses were the colors of Jordan Almonds
  • We sent out over 800 invitations to the reception
  • Kim's dress was custom made and designed by her

My favorite part of our wedding video is when my mom asks Jenifer to stand up straight. You can see this clip here.

Wow we sure look a lot different now.

Can you believe Nate had never seen the video? We keep playing it over and over and over. This post brought back so many memories!

It actually gets funnier each time I watch it!
